A Firsthand Account from the Frontlines
"We were like all of you, living our lives, and then, one day everything changed," says Yuliya Tychkivska, Executive Director of Aspen Institute Kyiv and longtime activist. "I managed my expectations badly because I was sure it was temporary." Tychkivska escaped from Ukraine with her three children, traveling through at least six countries before finding some temporary stability. Her husband is still back home, fighting in the war as a soldier. Hear about her harrowing escape from the war, hardships experienced by friends and family, and her hopes for Ukraine’s future.

UKRAINE
Resilience, Resolve, and the Future of the War
Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and since then, the war has proven longer and costlier than what the Kremlin might have expected. Ukrainian resistance has been successful in its counteroffensives, pushing back Russian forces from their original goal of taking Kyiv, though much of the country has still been devastated by the fighting. How much longer will the fighting last? What does victory now mean to each side? We’ve put together a curated collection of the most timely, illuminating, and unexpected insights into Ukraine from the Aspen Ideas stage. Hear from the President of Ukraine himself, as well as Ukrainian citizens, foreign policy and cybersecurity experts, and investigative journalists as they make sense of this war, attempt to detangle Putin’s motivations, and predict what’s to come.

Looking Ahead: Are Sanctions Working?
Following the invasion of Ukraine, the United States, Canada, and the European Union imposed severe sanctions on Russia. Nicholas Mulder, a Cornell professor who specializes in political and economic history, argues that Russia will be particularly resistant to sanctions because "history shows that it takes much longer to grind countries down that are large and that have large domestic resource bases." He warns that the West is now "out of the risk-free zone" for spillover effects in the world economy and underscores the interconnectedness of the international market. Watch Mulder discuss the consequences and promise of sanctions.
